Quote of Choice

“Getting smart people with inventive ideas in the same room is still the best recipe for developing meaningful solutions and the best way forward. After that, you set the direction and have fun executing.”

JES PEDERSEN

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Construction chose me. My dad hung drywall and I started going to his jobsites at an early age. At about 5 years old I was picking up loose nails with a magnet, and soon thereafter I was nailing off closets. In my teens, he taught me to install acoustical ceilings and eventually I got my welder’s license to install steel studs. From my hands on upbringing, I learned to take pride in my craft and was always looking for new and better ways to build.

And that idea continues today. I want people to be bold enough to challenge the status quo. It’s a culture we are creating at Webcor because it leads to innovation.

You have to be open to new ideas to be flexible enough to deal with today’s challenges. The demands of building today are eminently more complex, requiring our teams to continuously collaborate. And working together is paramount to finding the absolute best solutions.

TONY RANGO

CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

In this fast-paced, ever-changing business, it is essential to constantly provide clarity for your people. To use an old adage from the Army, “Any decision is better than no decision at all.” If the course of action turns out to be wrong when more information is available, change direction, explain why, and learn from it. Setting this direction is necessary to avoid paralysis and keeps jobs energized and moving forward.

MATT REECE

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

Whatever you do, you should do it right and do it well. Everything matters. This is especially true in our business. Every job and every task, no matter how small, contributes to the whole. To me, this is the essence of craft – taking pride in even the smallest details to create something truly outstanding.

HANK BRASCH

CHIEF LEGAL OFFICER

In order for us to continue to improve and come closer to mastering our craft, we must be passionate about what we do and fully embrace taking chances and broadening our respective experiences. Creating a positive team environment where all Webcor employees are supremely confident in their abilities and embrace the many challenges we will face as a company is the key to accomplishing this goal.

SHELLEY DORAN

SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT

It’s always about the team and building trusting relationships with everyone we interact with on every project. It is important that we lead by focusing on team accomplishments. Putting the team’s goals first is the best way to make sure we achieve overall success.

CHRIS PLUE

SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT

I’ve been working with concrete since the age of 16. It’s not glamorous, but it attracts people who are not afraid of hard work. I continue to be inspired by what committed individuals working together can accomplish. Construction is a team sport. Those with the best communication prevail.

Gust Soteropulos

SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT

I grew up in a small farming community in the Midwest. My parents were first generation Americans of Greek descent. This upbringing instilled in me the principle of hard work and a belief in the virtue of “doing the right thing.” I have found that these guiding principles applied to the construction industry have made for a rewarding career and satisfied business partners.
